This weekend under tranquil skies and rising temperatures, we journied up the Duffey Lake road and ski toured/climbed the highest peak in the area, Mt. Matier, standing at just over 9,000ft. My partner’s and I skied it’s legendary NW face, fast, and then down the Anniversary Glacier back to the road. All in, a 5000 vertical ft descent, punctuated by cold beers waiting for us in the snow bank when we reached the road.
